Featuring six CMF Artists, 2019 sees the residency expanded beyond the popular free lunchtime recitals to include a children’s concert, a performance for dementia sufferers, and an evening concert centered around Schubert’s ‘Trout Quintet’ with guest performer, pianist Sholto Kynoch. 2018 CMF Artist Toby Hughes (double bass) presents the third lunchtime recital of the week with pianist Daniel King-Smith. Toby Hughes is one of the UK’s leading double bass soloists. A true virtuoso, Toby has exceeded the perceived limitations of his instrument by being the first double bassist to win the Bromsgrove International Music Competition, the ROSL string section final, and the Tunbridge Wells International Young Concert Artists competition. He has performed at the Wigmore Hall, Edinburgh International Festival, Queen Elizabeth Hall, and St Martin the Fields, and he regularly plays with the renowned 12 Ensemble.
